H. F. Smith, of Nashville, Given j
Credit for Rapid Growth of
the Game in Dixie.

rles are constantly being writ
ten concerning the brilliant
deeds of our greatest golfers, but h
few lines are usually considered suf
ficient for the acts of the officials
•who provide the scene anti the set
ting for all ttwr spectacular golf that
is played To the successful forma
tion of golf associations and the car
rying through of tournaments are
devoted the executive ability and un
tiring devotion of many men; often
they are men of large affairs who
give freely their time and knowledge
for the benefit of the younger men.
Conspicuous among men of this
<la.ss is II F. Smith, of Nashville,
president of the Southern Golf As
sociation. and one of the directors of
ttie W. G. A. Mr. Smith has been
largely responsible for the building
up of the S. G. A., of which he has
been continuously president since
1904, and for the widespread inter
est and constant Increase In golf play
ing throughout the Southern States.
In no part of the country is inter
est in golf growing more rapidly than
in the South. This is the more re
markable because golf playing was
general in the Hast and Middle West
long before it was taken up in the
South. Yet it is interesting to know
in this connection that a golf club
with officers and clubhouse existed
at Charleston. S F. as irly as Oc
tober. 1794. I do not know how long
this lasted nr how complete the gap
between this club and these later
ones of which we know, but for many
' ears there were few golf clubs and
hut little interest in the game in the
South.
When Mr. Smith became president
of the S. G. A. it was a very small
organization compared with the
mammoth association of to-day. and
the association is so convinced that
Mr Smith is indispensable that it
will not permit him to resign.
Mr. Smith is also president of 1 lie
Tennessee 4Solf Association, a flour
ishing little organization, and of the
new Nashville Golf and Country Club
that is planning a beautiful course on
the historic Belle Mead Farm. But
Mr. Smiths labors for golf have not
been confined to the Southern States;
for years he served on the directorate
of the W G. A . was vice president
several years and in 1910 ho was
elected president to succeed C. F
Thompson. His administration was
one of the most successful in the his
tory of the organization For 1914
be w ill continue to serve the W. G. A.
as director.
Mr Smith plays a very go<yl game
of golf himself, although he learned
:» rather late m life Some \ ears/ago
he won the championship of the Na
tional Freight Traffic Men s Assodla-
t ion.

Although Wolgast rules a 10 to 7
favorite over White, many are expect,

the year and atop Ad. While has long
been noted for the punch he carries
in his left hand, and' he has prom
ised to uncork it several times to
night.
Outside of his recent bout with
Dundee, when some of the critics
gave Johnny a shade. White has rolled
up a remarkable record this year, lie
has had eighteen fights and has won
fourteen of them over the K. o. route.
Joe Thomas. 'Kid’' Kansas, Jal e

were handed the sleep producer.
Should White succeed in trimming

Dundee and White have met twue

Their contracts were received

Being several inches better than six
feet long, and husky in proportion,
McLean was exploited by a Seattle,
w riter as a likely White Hope, and
some pictures were published of him
in boxing poses.
C OUNT CASTRO, the celebrated or
ator and suds-passer, is claiming
a good deal of credit for the hooking
of the Walsh family.
"It's better to claim the credit be
fore the practice season," said the
Count, sagely. "Then, if they make
good, you can say. ‘1 told you so,' and
if they don’t pan out, why, most folks
will have forgotten by that time who

j LOS ANGELES. Dec. 19. —That he
told McGraw to took for another in-

statement made to-day by Art Sha

Giants. Shafer says he has quit base
ball for good. McGraw has traded
Herzog io Cincinnati, and with Sha
fer refusing to play the National
League tonopieror is up against it for
a third baseman.
McGraw visited Shafer when the
Giants and White Sox were in this
city and asked him if it was true that
he had quit baseball for good. Sha
fer said it was, and then McGraw
tried to have him change his mind.
He offered to make an exception in
Shafer’s case and not have him join
the training squad at Marlin.
"I am in business with my father,
taking care of his estate," said Shafer
to-day. "I am out of baseball for- \
